DECORATING MY BOOKSHELVES! + READING VLOG

[@KitAE0]

God, looking at your gorgeous bookshelf setup is making me wanna pull all my books off the shelf and reorganise and redecorate 😍

[@jessethereader]

okay but reorganizing is a nightmare in my opinion hahaha

[@KitAE0]

@@jessethereader I can imagine 😂 Wanting to vs actually doing it are two very different things

[@barbarawilson9862]

Hanging out and reading together on Twitch sounds awesome. Just casual. No stress.

[@rynfrogley7239]

Does anyone else want Jesse to release so merch or is it just me? Like, dude, let me encourage your book addiction, and give you money for it, and in exchange, stuff inspired by you.

you’re too kind! i’ve thought about it, but i don’t know 🙈

I like to bring my comforter and pillows into the living room! Idk why making a nest in the living room feels cozier than the bed but it does.

[@jessethereader]

omg you put it into words perfectly. A NEST. haha.

I'm in my first semester of college and I NEED the Christmas magic this year, it brings me serotonin, I'm planning to go all out, or as much as my family can stand

[@shazmatazz6769]

Oooooh 24 hour holiday-athon YESYESYES!

[@HarvestLockwood]

A 24-hour Winter/Christmas/Holiday-themed readathon sounds so fun! I usually don't do TBRs because I'm such a mood reader, and I don't read based on seasons, but it could be cool to just pick something at random from my library's ebook collection (they advertise books based on holidays and seasons on the front page of their Libby site!)

[@abmid]

Your videos are such a nice thing to watch after a long day of school and exams! Your channel feels like such a safe place ☺️ by the way, I would love to see a holiday book-a-thon!!!

[@penelopejns]

i'm currently reading kingdom of the wicked (only have 50 pages left) and it's honestly so good?? like solid 4 stars, perfect for october/november. it's about witches and demons and italian food

I'd love a read-athon or read sprint on twitch! Reading together sounds like a ton of fun!

The Christmas music in the BG, I’m vibing 🎶

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

I loved seeing the iron widow author photo she is so iconic and I have yet to get and read the book. But I definitely will because I'm excited for iron widow! I also have the book you can go your own way on my kindle and it sounds really fun and nice, so that is something to look forward to.

[@cathyenfield]

I don't know why you talking about Christmas just made me emotional, but thank you for sharing the Christmas spirit with us. It's honestly not a happy time for me these past few years, but content like this always makes me look forward to it regardles, so thank you.

[@holly27796]

The book sounds like Tweet Cute, with the opposing family business and the protagonists running the social medias and drag each other. It’s also YA and I thought it worked really well!

[@ximenaallessandrij.5972]

The chronicle of Narnia: The Lion, the witch and wardrobe!! ❤️ perfect winter book!!

[@esha3190]

Ahh! Your bookshelf is so beautiful

[@fictionesque1992]

random but i like what you said about not buying decorations just to have a bunch of decorations, that's super green of you! i heard something a while back by a low-waste youtuber called shelbizlee that was like 'there's already enough plastic in the world.' so this year i'm either thrifting new decorations or getting biodegradable stuff like a real pine wreath. it's been super nice so far because now i have decor that not everyone else has, and i get to give something else a new home without it going to the landfill. also it's so romantic and christmas-y to know your decorations have seen other christmases with other families too. :^)

[@HannahReadsFiction]

Animal Crossing has taken over my life and my reading time too 😂 I got a new bookshelf recently though I’ve never decorated mine for Christmas, unless you count putting ornaments on them 😂

[@mouse00433]

I love your reading vlogs

ty!

[@shazmatazz6769]

[@barbarawilson9862]

For me it’s Matchington Mansion and an audio book. And an iced caramel macchiato and I’m in heaven! Also, you’ve motivated me to decorate my book shelves for the holidays which I’ve never done before! Yay! 🍁❄️ Oh and I’m on the waiting list for Illumicrate. Still holding out hope of getting my vision back. 😁

you HAVE to decorate your animal crossing island for Christmas, you must (There's that new lightpost with the banners and people are custom designing the banners to be christmas themed and it's making me want to decorate my islands for Christmas, I restarted a few months ago so I have a long way to go to get there)

Anyway I really hope you are doing ok and best wishes for what the future may bring. :) Oh by the way, I also want to say that I also really connect with you through books (obviously), Taylor Swift AND Japan - I LOVE JAPAN (even though I've never been) but thank you for that.

Something I wish someone told me was that when you become an adult, you have to MAKE your own magic. It's nice in a way because you can curate your own experience, but you definitely no longer have those rose colored glasses of childhood innocence anymore.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but winter is my favorite season. I love the cold and snow and long nights. Idk, nights are just calming to me. That’s just me, but I see why people might not be a fan of winter.

I'm not a fan of the cold but I've recently learned to appreciate how quiet winters are. This Summer was so noisy with air conditioners going and loud neighbor kids spending all their time outside.

I love animal crossing and I’m slowly opening the shops and decorating at my pace instead of time traveling and all that because I want to enjoy the game more! If I just kept time traveling I would just lose interest in the game again from burnout and having done everything so fast, so not time traveling and taking my time is way more fun :3

Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli does include a wintery setting (though the main character is Jewish, so not Christmasy). The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black. At The Edge Of The Universe by Shaun David Hutchinson. Suicide Notes by Michael Thomas Ford. This Winter by Alice Oseman. Sorry, those were the only ones I could think of/find. They're all LGBT, but not very heavy on the Winter.
